Holi Festival of Colours

 Steve DIMOPOULOS (Oakleigh – Minister for Environment, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events, Minister for Outdoor Recreation) (10:13): There is nothing much better than a local Indian community festival, and that was certainly true of the Rang Barse Festival of Colours at Brickmakers Park in Oakleigh to celebrate Holi. I had such an incredible welcome, with so much colour and smiles everywhere. There was an amazing display of culture, joy and unity, and it was a testament to the strength of our diversity and our multicultural community here in Victoria.
